Paperback. Condition: Good. By the early 1900s, virtually all of the rich plantation land in the Red Hills between Thomasville, Georgia, and Tallahassee, Florida, had been converted to quail-hunting land for the pleasure of Northern owners and their guests. To operate these large specialized plantations, a skilled management and talented and industrious work force was needed. Within these pages are the stories of fifteen African Americans who were closely involved in plantation life in the first half of the century. Explored are the unique relationships between the plantation owners and their employees, and between families black and white. Vintage images depict the various tasks performed by the African Americans on the plantation, as well as the recreational activities they enjoyed. Told in the voices of those who lived and worked on the plantations, this unique collection of oral histories will serve as a valuable educational tool for generations to come.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Come Easy--Go Easy Chet Carson works for the Lawrence Safe Corporation. One night temptation gets the better of him, and he and his partner decide to rob one of their clients. Some months later, Carson is languishing at Farnworth Prison. But Carson has a plan and soon escalates from convict to escaped con, on the run from the sadistic guards. That's when he comes across Carl Jensen at Point of No Return, a filling station on the edge of the desert highway. Jensen takes a chance on Carson and gives him a job--and a new lease on life. The Swede has a good feeling about Carson. Unfortunately, the Swede's greedy wife Lola doesn't share his sentiment, and sets up Carson to crack one more safe or she'll turn him in. Jensen has a small fortune stashed away. And it's just one more safe--only this one could be Carson's last. In a Vain Shadow Frank Mitchell is bored and restless when he spots the ad for a bodyguard. He's tired of feeling like a kept man. So when he finds that Mr. Sarek needs someone to protect him against a series of threatening letters, he jumps at the chance to get away from Netta and her smothering love. On the surface, Sarek looks like a harmless little guy in a loud coat who deals in diamonds. Eccentric but harmless. But Frank gets more than he bargains for when he meets Mrs. Sarek. Rita is something else indeed--she hits like a sucker punch. She's all that he can think about. But Rita's got more surprises for Frank. She wants him to help her kill her husband. And the payoff? All those diamonds.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. James Hadley Chase (Rene Brabazon Raymond) was born in London in 1906 and started his career as a bookseller. With the aid of a dictionary of American slang and reference books on the American underworld he wrote his first novel, NO ORCHIDS FOR MIS BLANDISH, over six weekends. The book achieved remarkable popularity and became one of the best-sold books of the decade. FLESH OF THE ORCHID is a wild, thrill-ride of a sequel to NO ORCHIDS. Taking up the story 22 years later, the central figure is once again a Blandish girl, but Carol Blandish is not the helpless victim that her mother was. Indeed, she is a volatile blend of simmering sexuality, strained innocence and hair-trigger cruelty. Her explosive outbursts of savage violence make her a force to be reckoned with. Escaping from a mental institute during a raging storm, and definitely off her meds, Carol Blandish is soon pursued by a seedy cast of characters who all want a piece of the Blandish fortune. The novel bristles with crazy plot twists, edge-of-the-seat suspense and intriguing low-life's who mix it up for an immensely enjoyable read.…
